The problem of temperature difference calculation in plate heat exchangers
Thread Content
Now that the inlet temperatures, flow rates, and heat transfer coefficient K of the cold and hot fluids are known, how can we determine the outlet temperatures of these fluids?
The material flow rate of the heat exchanger, as well as the inlet and outlet temperatures of the tube side and shell side, are determined during the process design; ultimately, the area of the heat exchanger is calculated based on these specified parameters.
It should be said that you need to determine what temperature the cold or hot stream outlet should be at, in order to be able to calculate the size of the heat exchanger and related values
